Welcome! The Prius prime charger will absolutely work. It will take about 10 hours from empty to full.

In fact your new R4P will come with the exact same charger you already have. Dont plug them into the same circuit and use at the same time or you’ll trip the breaker.

 

about to get two plug in hybrids. If I plug them into two different 110v outlets overnight, will this cause electrical problems?

 

You can plug your suv in to. 110 outlet without issue but it does not charge as fast as your 240 charger. I use both depending on when I need to leave.

 

Thank you!

 

There will be no problem using a 120V socket. The only issue would be if you're using a bunch of adapters to "step up" to a larger socket designed for 208-240V and an EVSE expecting more than 32A being available to it. Only then would you have a problem, and I would hope most people are smart enough not to attempt that.

An EVSE's job is to communicate to the car how much power the car is allowed to draw. The car will then draw the lower of either its own maximum draw or the EVSE's stated maximum capacity. A 120V EVSE will communicate to the car, "Hey, don't draw more than 12A." The car will then only draw 12A on the single energized phase.

 

Thank you.

 

I used my wife’s Prius Prime EVSE on the dedicated 120v line to the garage on my R4Prime w Premium pkg for the first year. Then I finally finished installing my inexpensive MUSTART (240v, 26amp max) EVSE and now I’m enjoying quicker charging times and more use of departure-time scheduled charging.

 

Thank you. This is exactly what I am thinking of doing; perhaps not for a year but I will use Prius's 120v line until I can get an installer to put in a 240v socket.

 

dont know your exact situation or electrical code . in my location code requires exterior plugs to be on dedicated circuits . your code could probably be the same. check your code it may give you more options
